l have neglected to reply to Bro

time for two reasons. Ist, I have
had SO much to do that really have
not had the time to before: ed,
verify believed that the action of the
legislature would show the truth or
falslty OF my position better than
anything 1 might say.
My most sanguine expectations
have been realized. The vexed ques-
ton OF how to secure submission is
settled. L do not wish to boast over
Bro. S. because things have turned
different from what he expected, but
rather would say, now as we find our
selves in perfect accord upon the
question that next presents itself let
us work shoulder to shoulder, not
even stopping to review the past.
1t IS enough that we were both
honest and conscientious then, and
let us be as honest in our labor now
to secure the next step in advance
that is to secure the passage of the
amendment.
The questions asked in his last
seem very easy to me, but the inter
est Of truth does not demand of us
to 60 back to the old questions con-
nected with the work of submission,
but rather let US press forward and
comply with the cry "to arms" and
go forth and fight valiantly for the
right. Let prohibition be our battle
cry and let fifty thousand majority be
the very least that will satisfy us. / |

the question of fashion, and then, in
my opinion, jumped the track. He
mentioned the manufacturing of stoves
to show bow the change in fashion
effected the price Of coarse and fine
wool. Mr.. Dewey said that stoves
could be sold at one half the present
price if fashion did not change so
often; that the change caused the
manufacturer to make new patterns

The supply, and the manufacturer

When the first snow remains on the
